Dad Laments The Beautiful Things His Toddler ‘Took’ From Him
Parenting involves a lot of sacrifices. In his latest “New Father Chronicles” video, dad La Guardia Cross shares what he’s given up (or rather, what his toddler has “taken” from him) since becoming a parent.
From sleeping in on weekends to having alone time in the bathroom, many of life’s simplest pleasures are nothing but distant memories for this dad.
Rest assured you’re not alone, La Guardia.
